Start by making the hollandaise sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice until the mixture becomes thick and pale.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler (make sure the water does not touch the bowl). Continue whisking vigorously.
Slowly drizzle in the melted butter, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat, season with salt and cayenne pepper, and keep warm.
Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a simmer. Add the white vinegar to the water.
Gently crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Carefully slide the eggs into the simmering water and poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and set them on a paper towel to drain.
While the eggs are poaching, split and toast the gluten-free English muffins.
To assemble, place the toasted muffin halves on plates. Top each muffin with 50 grams of smoked salmon.
Place a poached egg on top of the salmon and then generously spoon the hollandaise sauce over the top.
Garnish with chopped chives for a touch of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free salmon benedict!
